Longtime Christian County Literacy Council Executive Director Beverly Whitfield died unexpectedly over the weekend at her home.
Christian County Judge-Executive Steve Tribble noted her death at Tuesday morning’s fiscal court meeting. He volunteered for the council’s Real Men Read program dozens of times and says Whitfield was devoted toward children getting a good start on a lifetime of reading.
Kenneth Bates assisted the Literacy Council’s in multiple ways over the years and says Whitfield had a heart for children and for the community.
Whitfield is survived by a daughter and funeral arrangements have not been announced.
